Straight on the Board but Mattila Ousts Kovalevski with a Better Flush

Level 5: 150/300 (300)

Entries: 253/281

Jussi Mattila bet 8,000 into a pot of around 12,000 with four spades and a straight on the 5 2 A 3 4 board.

Artjom Kovalevski went into the tank for a couple of minutes before he called off his stack for nearly the same size as his bet.

“I knew it,” said Kovalevski after Mattila turned over K K for the nut-straight. Kovalevski showed his Q Q for the second-nuts before shortly after heading to the rail.

Jussi Mattila – 40,000

Artjom Kovalevski – 0
